Chapter 1016: Falling into Disadvantages
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Under the protection of Mo and Ye Qingxian, Leng Xuantong and Lin Wenwen avoided the chase temporarily.
“We mustn’t let them get our diary! Wenwen, you are able to foresee the future. You have the biggest chance to return to the base safely. So, take this diary. You have to bring it back to the base!” Leng Xuantong handed Lin Wenwen a black notebook and said to her with a serious face.
Lin Wenwen took it over silently and put it into her s.p.a.ce as she nodded. However, she didn’t want to give up hope just yet. “Don’t give up so soon! I feel that we will be fine this time. Trust me.”
Leng Xuantong recorded his research on that notebook. Anyone who had relevant knowledge could understand the data in it.
Not only did the notebook contain his research, but also recorded a large amount of information about the mutated plants that he had studied. If Huaxia Base people got the notebook, they would find a lot of secrets about All Beings Base from it, along with some valuable information about mutated plants.
For the safety of the entire All Beings Base, Leng Xuantong didn’t want Huaxia Base people to obtain the notebook.
Lin Wenwen looked at Leng Xuantong and felt that he would not die. She trusted her feelings, which always turned out to be right. She wasn’t even worried about her best friend, Long Qingying. Even though she was separated from her earlier, she had a feeling that both Long Qingying and Kong Qingming would stay alive.
“Huaxia Base people have been developing their weapon tech all the time. There are only four of us now, and the chance of survival is very small.” Leng Xuantong sighed with despair and shook his head.
There were about thirty people in the group, some from All Being Base and others from Sea City Base. However, over three-hundred enemies attacked them, splitting into a few squads and targeting each of them. Those enemies were at level-five or even above, all armed with the newest weapons that Huaxia Base had developed.
The bullets shot from their pistols could cause a damage as bad as grenades. Moreover, the firing range of their rifles could reach about two kilometers. Their bullets were faster and more destructive than the bullets from normal rifles by at least five times over.
Everyone who was targeted by a sniper from the enemy’s side would die. Huaxia Base had even developed a drug that could cover human scent, in order to disable zombies from sensing them. The smell of the drug could only be sensed from a very short distance. The enemies were wearing that drug, so not even Mo and Ye Qingxian could sense their scent.
The untrained ordinary zombies couldn’t recognize Huaxia Base people and their vehicles. Without the scent of human beings, they barely existed in the eyes of ordinary zombies. Therefore, Mo and Ye Qingxian couldn’t receive any useful information about those people from the surrounding zombies either.
Lin Wenwen was able to foresee some dangers that might happen to herself. Otherwise, she and her friends might have had their heads blown off already. More importantly, she and her people had almost run out of ammo, while the enemies were still fully loaded. People left the last few bullets to Lin Wenwen, who had a s.p.a.ce, and fought with only their superpower.
Mo had metal power while Ye Qingxian had green power. They were both powerful, no matter in the field or in the city. Leng Xuantong was only at level-four, yet his ice power still allowed him to fight.
Except for them, who were relatively strong, all the other team members had died. As a result, they were currently in a very bad situation.
A few miles away from them, a few lightly armored vehicles had been moving slowly. The people inside the vehicles were all armed to the teeth.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The man in the front seat of the vehicle in the middle of the line reached a hand out to drum the car roof and then shouted, “Haven’t we located them yet?”
The man standing on the car roof was carefully looking ahead. Hearing the question, he responded, “The direction is right, but I can’t tell the exact location from here…”
After saying that, he abruptly disappeared from the car roof. A few seconds later, he reappeared on top of a building nearby. The vehicles didn’t stop moving because of him leaving, but kept moving slowly forward.
A short while later, the man leaped off the building, then nimbly landed on the ground and ran quickly toward the vehicles.
“Ten o’clock, move!” He patted on the driver’s door, then hopped back onto the car roof. The driver instantly hit the accelerator and moved toward where he pointed at.
Right at that moment, Lin Wenwen suddenly felt as if someone was staring at her back. She furrowed her eyebrows as she sprung up and said, “d.a.m.n! They’re coming! We got to go!”
The others quickly packed their belongings and started moving. They left the area as soon as they could, pausing briefly to sense the enemies’ locations before moving in another direction.
Huaxia Base people had split into a few groups to chase behind Lin Wenwen, Long Qingying and the others. After them, two other groups were also approaching.
Those were two zombie leaders, both swift, along with a dozen human soldiers under the leaders.h.i.+p of Li Yueshan. They were sent out to look for Kong Qingming by Wu Chengyue
The two zombie leaders—one male and one female—silently landed where those Huaxia Base people drove across, then looked at those vehicles that had been driving away, raising clouds of dust. They were both surprised.
“Their scents are covered. We wouldn’t be able to discover them if we weren’t close enough to see them.” The zombie girl looked at those Huaxia Base vehicles curiously through her sungla.s.ses. Meanwhile, the zombie guy stayed silent.
He wasn’t able to speak. His position wasn’t high enough yet, so his throat hadn’t been fixed.
The female one was none other than zombie number two, one of the two who used to follow Qiu Lili’s lead. Lin Qiao brought her up to level-five, and also conveniently fixed her throat.
She felt very awkward when she restored her memory and recalled that she was forced to bathe together with zombie number one.
Most of the zombies who absorbed Lin Qiao’s blood had gradually restored their memories. Some of them only partially regained their memories. They still didn’t remember their old lives, but did remember many of their old habits and the knowledge that they used to have. Some special ones even recollected their old skills because their bodies had memorized the movements that they always made.
Currently, all zombies at level-five or above had restored some of their memories, such as Jingyan, Yan Xiao, Chong, Song, and some others.
The zombie man who was standing beside Two was Song. He had remembered who he was from before, and his human memories and zombie memories had mixed together. He panicked for a few days at first, but soon accepted his new ident.i.ty with Xie Dong’s mental health aid.
Noticing the excited look on Two’s face, Song gave her an eye signal and told her that he was ready to kick some a*s together with her.
